IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 24,399, dated June 14, 1859.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELI Moonn, ot' Slabtown, in the district of Anderson and State of South Carolina, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stocking-Flows; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in attaching to the common plow-beam, A, of Wood, an elongated iron brace, B, terminating at one end in a clevis, O, at the end of the beam, and at the other in an iron foot, D, which takes the place of the wooden foot E in the common plow. Its advantagesoverthecommon wooden stock consist, first, in its greater strength and durability; second, it obviates the necessity of the false colter, which chokes with grass, weeds, Ste, requiring the plowman thereby to stop frequently and remove the matter thus collected; third, it furnishes an iron foot to which the plow is attached stronger and more durable than the wooden foot; fourth, any ordinary plow may be attached to the foot,

(colter, gofer, shovel, subsoil, buzzard, &c.;)'

plo w m an.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The arrangement of the beam A, brace 13, clevis G, foot D, stock E, and ring F, the whole being constructed, as described, for the pur-' poses specified.

hi, ELI 2 MOORE.
